Residents of a small Texas town say they are being plagued by the noise from a nearby crypto mining facility.

Locals in Granbury have likened the sound emanating from the data center to 'being on a runway with jets taking off 24/7' in a blistering lawsuit filed against owners MARA Holdings.

The complaint blames the 'constant' alleged racket for a host of ailments among the local population including headaches, vertigo and hearing loss.

'It is incredibly intrusive. It is incredibly annoying,' Rodrigo Cantu, the resident group's lawyer, told the Daily Mail. 

'It's a type of noise that penetrates the walls, that can wake you up or can keep you from falling asleep.'

The data center houses between 60,000 to 80,000 computer rigs solely dedicated to Bitcoin mining, a complicated, time-consuming process that requires enormous amounts of electricity and expensive hardware.

Bitcoin is currently trading at around $88,000 and firms who can amass enough computing power unlock the chance to compete for the newly minted currency by validating transactions on the blockchain.

While MARA stands to make huge gains, Granbury locals claim they are losing sleep due to colossal noise generated by fans needed to cool the center's computer chips.

The group of residents sued MARA last year in attempt to quiet down the data center, which has been operating since 2022. 

'It can be heard during the day, when people are going about their business, but it can also be heard at nighttime, which is especially damaging because one has a reasonable expectation of peace and quiet at night,' Cantu said.

'There are people in the community who are saying that they feel like they don't hear as well anymore, or that it's contributing to other physiological effects, like headaches, like a sense of vertigo.'

Cheryl Shadden, who is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, has said the Bitcoin mine 'sounds like you’re being on a runway with jets taking off 24/7, nonstop. You hear it in your home, it penetrates the walls, it shakes your windows.' 

MARA argues that these claims are overblown and disproven by Hood County's own sound study that was prepared in November 2024.
